Taylor Lautner: 'Lily Collins blew me away'

Talking to MTV News, the Twilight actor revealed that he came to rely on Collins during some of the film's more difficult scenes.

"I didn't know her very well. I had met her a couple [of] times, but she blew me away. She was awesome," he said. "She's extremely talented. Whenever [my character] Nathan crumbles, she has to always be there to support him. And she was."

He went on to reveal that their strong bond allowed him to feel comfortable while shooting scenes which required the actors to share a romantic kiss.

"I mean, I think it depends. It depends on the person and your vibe together, 'cause sometimes it can totally be awkward," he explained. "But if you're in the moment and you are literally living these characters, you forget about everything else, then it's fine. It was totally fine."

Lautner and Collins were also linked in real life, with reports that they had begun dating first surfacing in November 2010.
